This article describes how off-the-shelf SMD components can be used with a normal PFC inductor for Ripple Current Steering Filtering. 1. Normal PFC input filtering. Click image for expanded view. A ...

Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...

A synchronous rectified forward converter optimized for performance and cost uses coupled inductors for output filtering and transformer-based gate drive. As mentioned before, in a forward topology, a ...

Last month, we discussed low power factor and how resonance can disrupt facility operations. This month, we'll talk about harmonic filter design and various system parameters that affect filter ...
